Ordet

A farmer’s family is torn apart by faith, sanctity, and love—one child believes he’s Jesus Christ, a second proclaims himself agnostic, and the third falls in love with a fundamentalist’s daughter. Putting the lie to the term “organized religion,” ORDET (“The Word”) is a challenge to simple facts and dogmatic orthodoxy. Layering multiple stories of faith and rebellion, Carl Theodor Dreyer’s adaptation of Kaj Munk’s play quietly builds towards a shattering, miraculous climax.
